How do I set my location?

Your location determines which requests you'll be matched with, so it's important to set it up correctly. Here's how.

Steps

1. Open the ChefMaison app and log in with your email.
2. Go to You.
3. Tap Account.
4. Tap Location.
5. Type your location and wait for it to appear in the list, then select it.
6. Set your radius.

Set your service area using your home address, office, or wherever you are primarily based, and then select the radius you're willing to travel for events.
We'll send you client requests that fall within this radius.
For example, if you're a chef based in Paris and you're happy to travel up to 50 km for an event, you can set your radius to 50 km.

💡 Choose a radius that reflects how far you're genuinely willing to travel. A wider radius can give you access to more opportunities, but make sure you're comfortable travelling that distance for a booking.

Important: Country and service area are different

Your service area and radius determine which client requests you'll receive.
Your Country on your personal info, on the other hand, is part of your profile information and is used to determine the applicable requirements and settings for your account, such as commission and VAT rules.
To check or update your country:
You → Account → Personal information → Country
Select the country where you live, work, or where your business is registered. Make sure this information is accurate.
Check our Commission & VAT Policy for more details.
So, in short:

• Country = your official profile/business country and applicable account requirements.
• Location + radius = where you're based and how far you're willing to travel for client requests.
